PERFECT PICK: THREE LOUISVUITTONAGA LOOKS with NET-A-PORTER

                            So I'm so happy that Nicolas Ghesquiere was announced yesterday via Louis Vuitton's Twitter as the new Artistic Director of the Women's collections. It was LITERALLY the first thing that popped up on my iPhone's notifications and of course I hollered so loud I might have woken up my neighbors. I am a HUGE stan (super-fan) of his work at Balenciaga, and I know that Louis Vuitton is about to get a major overhaul. Since Nicolas doesn't have a collection of his own, its pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to imagine what his aesthetic is, and therefore guess what a Ghesquis Vuitton, or Nicouis Vuitton, or Louis Ghesquitton collection would look like. Even harder to guess, will probably be the handbags, SLG's and accessories that are the money maker for the luxury brand. Instead of butchering his name, maybe merging Louis Vuitton's womenswear history with his Balenciaga resume will give us a little preview....

8 COATS TO CONSIDER FOR FALL AND WINTER: MENS

        So what is a mens jacket without a HOOD! Personally, I love the option of hiding into a warm (hopefully lined) hood, which ups the comfort factor and gives me the impression that I never left my warm bed, even in the soon to come North Pole weather conditions. Marc by Marc Jacobs has probably the two best styles, the leather bomber jacket being my personal favorite, and Burberry's duffle coat has that nifty little patch that I believe covers your mouth for even more anti-cold combat. All from Mr. Porter shop shop shop! Don't forget to vote for me in their Gloabl Style Competition!

VALENTINO BONDED LEATHER WOOL PEACOAT - $2400

8 COATS TO CONSIDER FOR FALL AND WINTER : WOMENS

So, just like that the weather is back to brisk. So now its time to throw away all your tank tops and save up for a nice coat or leather that will keep you from freezing your ass off. I finally purchased this Zara coat that I featured a few posts earlier, and I'm absolutely in love with it, even more when I'm wearing it. Out of all the pieces I picked out I'm probably most obsessed with the Proenza Schouler placket coat due to its really unique cut and graphic print on the front. 2nd place goes to the Acne Studios shearling jacket at a whopping $2500. Either way, theeir all great coats and all from SSENSE. BTW, don't forget to vote for me in the Mr. Porter Global Style Competition!

MACKAGE FUR DOWN COAT - $850

THE TOP 5 SALE ITEMS FROM TRES BIEN

  So I stumbled upon this website and I feel like such an idiot for not discovering it earlier. Just by looking at the TYPOGRAPHY (okay maybe thats an exaggeration) I already felt an extremely focused curation of product coming along the next page. I must say, the models on this website that display the clothes literally dress EXACTLY like me. EXACTLY. It's kinda creepy. Another thing that really threw me off was that they're one of the few websites that still have their sale section up with pretty nice pieces. So, what are the top 5 picks from TRES BIEN?

UNDERCOVER COWHIDE BRACELET - $80

THE BEST BOMBER JACKETS FROM ASOS.COM

           So, my obsession with bomber jackets started when at the beginning of the summer, I told myself I'd switch my summer style from last season wearing tank tops every day to short sleeve shirts and bomber jackets. My first one was from ASOS, a new fashion  discovery i learned about during one of my old jobs. I soon found out that not only was it a more broad (in a good way ) version of Urban Outfitters, but they're own brand they sell on the website has some really amazing pieces. What I love about the bomber jacket is it can be dressed up or dressed down, and in recent years it's definitely broadened out the basic varsity jacket confines. Since I definitely feel ASOS men carries THE LARGEST selection of bombers I've seen on a single website, below are my picks for the best they have to offer ( and a pic of me wearing mine at Le Bain in NYC). Be sure to sign up for their emails, because when you get that ASOS coupon code, it DEFINITELY chops off that little extra that makes you turn a maybe into a hell yes.

FRESH OFF THE RUNWAY SHOPPING WITH MYTHERESA

               So, fashion week is coming up and In addition to the New York Fashion Week preliminary schedule being posted yesterday, it's that time of the year for everyone to show of their style ( or lack thereof) around NYC for a week. I've seen everything from people wearing almost anything, to nothing at all, a little designer here and there, to full blown Anna Dello Russo runway look 5 seconds after the show ends. How in the hell she does it I don't know, but if your not in a rush like ADR, MyTheresa may be the shopping sanctuary for you. The e-commerce crafted a nifty tag next to certain items that are pretty much the exact look on the runway ( of course with certain modifications for production purposes).  Not only is this a great way for fashion lovers to really get their hands on off the runway merchandise, but also at a good price since we all love a good sale, and MyTheresa is definitely a supporter of that idea. Rihanna too, has shown her love for luxury runway goods, wearing Givenchy MENSWEAR ( yes, I said menswear) looks and posting them up on her personal Instagram, but even penning a song praising her prized possessions.
